COCOA
Cocoa has been able to lift well clear of its recent consolidation zone, but a negative shift in its key outside markets leave it vulnerable to profit-taking. Improved global demand appears to be coming sooner than the market has priced in, however, and that should help cocoa prices to hold their ground near their recent highs.
COFFEE
Coffee prices have yet to find their footing this week and are on a 4-session losing streak as they are closer to their recent consolidation zone than to last Thursday’s 14-month high. Although the market has an improving global demand outlook and bullish supply factors working in its favor, the Brazilian currency lost another 1% in value and reached its lowest price level since late October, and that has weighed heavily on coffee prices this week.
COTTON
Cotton’s whipsaw price action following its wide-sweeping outside-day down negative key reversal last Thursday has resulted in the lowest close since mid-February. May cotton finished with severe losses yesterday and is threatening to take out last Friday’s spike low, and a break below that level would suggest that a larger correction of last week’s 2 1/2 year high is imminent.
SUGAR
With continued carryover pressure from key outside markets, sugar may have further downside left to go before it can find a near-term floor. The Brazilian currency sustained another heavy loss and has dropped nearly 6% in value over the past 5 sessions to reach a 4-month low.
